Ghislaine Maxwell Appears to Have Lied on Her Citizenship Application — The New Republic The revelation could put her citizenship status at risk.

Ghislaine Maxwell lied on her US citizenship application. She checked the no box when asked if she had ever procured anyone for prostitution.

She had been trafficking since 1994. This could get another 25 years added to her sentence.

Epstein had a dental office in his home. To remove kids teeth so they couldn’t bite. The girlfriend who was a dentist was Karyna Shuliak, a Belarus-born woman who became known as his long-term partner and was described as a dentist in multiple reports, a beneficiary in his will.

A young violinist was nervous about meeting with Jeffrey Epstein due to his 2008 child sex abuse conviction. Epstein reassured her by noting his friendship with @bardcollege.bsky.social’s Leon Botstein, and set up a dinner between Botstein and the musician. She soon became one of Epstein’s victims.

Let's make sure we foil their plans.

Social media companies are suppressing terms like “Epstein” and “ICE” and “voting” because they don’t want you thinking about those things. Like and share everything you see.

Everything needs to be the Epstein Files.

There is no other issue until people are thrown in jail for raping and abusing children.

They will ramp up killing US citizens by ICE agents to deflect and distract.

But we must keep on the Epstein Files.

We want names.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

In govts around the world, people in the Epstein files are resigning in disgrace.

In private business, executives in the files are resigning in disgrace.

In the Trump admin, nothing happens since the boss is in the files more than anyone and his party is filled with cowards.

Epstein 'ordered girls to be buried' who were 'strangled to death' An email from an ex-employee of Jeffrey Epstein claimed the convicted child abuser ordered the burial of two girls in the hills near his New Mexico ranch.

This proves that men didn't have to go to the island to take advantage of those young girls.

So ppl can stop trying to tie those perverts to the island. Epstein had 4 homes that we know of in the continental U.S.

Lawmakers Accuse DOJ Of ‘Spying’ On Their Epstein File Searches Rep. Pramila Jayapal accused Bondi and the DOJ of “spying” on members of Congress by keeping track of their search history of the Epstein files.

The Trump regime has been surveilling Members of Congress who have been reviewing the unredacted Epstein files.

Pam Bondi screwed up and inadvertantly revealed that yesteday at a congressional hearing.

MAGA accusations are always confessions

Trump has a plan to steal the midterms. It will probably fail. The nightmare scenario for American democracy is no longer unthinkable.

From the concern of ICE at the polls to the prospect of seizing machines and ballots, there is reason for vigilance.

“There is clearly an effort afoot to interfere in our elections and that is something that people should be alarmed about... But this can be thwarted. And it must be.”

Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations Recently disclosed records suggest a closer relationship than the Commerce secretary previously indicated.

Lutnick’s lies about his business dealings with a convicted child sex offender, raise serious concerns about his judgement and ethics.

When I say this nation is going to prevail, trust that it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with optimism. It’s based entirely on what I am taking in from people all across this nation.

These criminals will fail. We…will prevail.

The DECISION that it will happen, always comes before the “how.”

THIS IS SICK!

Epstein’s victims say Ghislaine Maxwell was worse than Epstein. She groomed and delivered girls to him.

Now she pleads the 5th across the board & offers to clear Trump’s name in exchange for clemency.

Send her evil ass back to doing hard time instead of the cushy camp she’s in now!
